swissQprint Announces Creative Challenge Winners

Judging was done by an internal swissQprint jury and two external experts, looking for originality, while also including process and print-related considerations. The public, too, had three weeks in which to cast their votes online.

“Again, we marveled at our customers’ ingenuity, creativity and skill; they make the seemingly impossible happen,” says Adriano Gut, Key Account Manager at swissQprint.

The winners are:

1st place: Haas Werbetechnik of Austria with “Symphony of Creation,” a unique composition of highly varied materials and printing techniques: metallic effects, droptix, white, UV varnish and 3D relief printing. Successfully defending their title, Haas Werbetechnik won the last swissQprint Creative Challenge in 2019.

Haas Werbetechnik won the swissQprint Creative Challenge 2023 with “Symphony of creation”.

2nd place: CMP Enseigne of France with “Woodstar,” a truly spectacular work of art. Transparent areas, droptix and lenticular printing, relief and metallic effects, plus clever use of varnish together create a stunning display.

CMP Enseigne made it to 2nd place on the podium with “Woodstar”.

3rd place: Gcolor Company Ltd. of Taiwan with “Alice Immersiveland.” Lenticular printing is the secret to fairytale-like transformation of the image; additional printed relief completes the magic.

In honorable third place: Gcolor Company Ltd. with “Alice Immersiveland”.

4th place: Signaletik Diffusion of France with “Le couteau swissQprint,” a detailed replica of a Swiss Army knife, ornamented with relief elements. Various designs impart a distinctive look to each one of the tools.

Signaletik Diffusion gained fourth place with their creation “Le couteau swissQprint”.

5th place: Take Corporation of Japan with “Funny Moving Poster”, a test piece for an engaging shop window display. Rotating patterns draw attention to the product.

Take Corporation came in fifth place with their “Funny Moving Poster” project.

The winners – a delegation from Haas Werbetechnik – will be travelling to swissQprint’s factory in Kriessern, Switzerland. Second to fifth placed winners are being rewarded with generous prizes.

This is the third time swissQprint has held the competition: first in 2016, then in 2019 and now this year. A gallery displaying all the works will shortly go live on www.swissqprint.com.
